Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and focuses on the awarding of a contract for lipid services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement is classified under health services and aims to provide a consult-led lipidology outpatient clinic service at Leighton Hospital in Crewe. This process has reached the award stage, with Vernova Healthcare Community Interest Company selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £35,880 GBP, became active on 17th March 2026, following the regulatory standstill period, which necessitates representations to be made by the 27th of March, 2026. Located in the UKD6 region, the tender was executed without prior publication of a call for competition, in line with the relevant directive's provisions that do not apply.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses in the health services industry, especially those specialising in outpatient clinic services. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) particularly stand to benefit from such contracts as evidenced by the award to Vernova Healthcare, which is classified as an SME. Businesses that can offer competitive consultancy services in lipidology are well-suited to take advantage of opportunities like this one. The direct award procedure used here suggests a targeted procurement approach suited for healthcare providers familiar with PSR direct awards, fostering growth opportunities for consultancies and specialised healthcare entities keen on expanding their service offerings in the UKD6 region.
